The IRS said in a new court filing that clergy and houses of worship should be allowed to make political endorsements,
-- abandoning an 71-year-old tax policy that banned the mixing of religion and politics.

Nonprofits should be allowed to make political endorsements and not lose their tax exemption,
the IRS said in the court filing.
Religious congregations, the filing said, are like families and communication between them should not be deemed “participation” in a ca…

IRS: Churches should be allowed to make political endorsements
Since 1954, the IRS has banned nonprofits — including congregations — from participating in political campaigns. The agency now says political endorsements by churches should be allowed.

Claude Sonnet 4.0 describes the image as: "This image shows a scene set aboard a futuristic spacecraft, with the characteristic sleek, technological interior design featuring metallic surfaces and angular lighting elements typical of science fiction television from this era. The setting appears to be part of the ship's main areas, with the distinctive architectural elements and color scheme that creates an advanced, sterile atmosphere. The lighting and set design emphasize the high-tech environ…

Trump is working on regime change in Europe — fact, not conspiracy theory - @…
euobserver.com/eu-and-the-worl

Recent polls suggest most Europeans (especially in the west and south) are falling out of love with Trump’s America. They have understood that the transatlantic alliance, which underpinned eight decades of peace and prosperity in Europe, is no more. Now, they need to realize that America is not withdrawing from Europe, but is actually trying to subjugate it. Europeans need to take Trump’s interference in Europe’s democracies much more seriously, and fight back. Europe’s real threat is not wo…

Trump is working on regime change in Europe — fact, not conspiracy theory

Hmmmm… here is a problem I did not anticipate.
Every time I empty the main pond hole of water, (the actual hole under the liner) water returns within an hour or two. I’ve done it 4 times now, and it keeps filling back up with water.
Obviously there is water underground infiltrating into the pond hole, and/or the water table itself is above the bottom of the hole. It is not coming from either of the other holes because they both have the same amount of water in them as they did this morning.
I have “watered” the blueberry patch and hazelnut tree a lot with the water that I have been cleaning the filter with… and we also had lots of water flying around outside the liners yesterday as I tested the pump. So it is quite possible that the ground around the pond is simply well saturated.
I think I am going to have to just keep removing the water (and putting it into the sewer) until it does not refill. We have a week of hot weather coming. Surely that will be enough time for everything to dry out completely.
Otherwise I might run into some issues if the rains return before I can anchor down the pond liner with gravel and get the plumbing in!
How is time already running short!?
Never underestimate the ability of water to find a place where it is not wanted. 😆

"The TSA has an important job to do. Their actions at airports have been very poor. This creates lots of loss to travelers – waste. And their actions show a disrespect for people and the risks that exist. The security theater is not what we need. We need evidence based security measure while maintaining a focus on the value stream of people flying."
